If you're a prude, easily offended or take yourself too seriously...best f**k off now!!
In the warm and slightly fuzzy world of adult pantomime, we at GASPS are feeling truly moist with pleasure that our sell-out successes have been so well received over the last few years. And it is because of you, dear audience, that this has happened and we would all like to thank you from the bottom….
To paraphrase Paul McCartney “ …in this ever-changing world in which we live in…” we too evolve and as well as welcoming back our regular stars, it is with enormous pleasure that we introduce you to the newcomers to the show.
Taking on the title role is David Williams – last seen locally in the truly expansive role of chef Nigel Slater in Toast. Making her debut is the delightful Jaimi Bartlett as Princess Jizzmine! The cameo comedy comes in the form of The Genie of the Camp played by Barry Seaward. Joining the onstage team is dancer extraordinaire, Anna Gifford and our musical maestro is the super talented Simon Newton. Holding the whole thing together we welcome Sadie Dyer, our new stage manager.
So, it’s grateful thanks to them and our lovely front-of-house and bar staff teams.
Welcome one and all to another round of smutty inuendo and derring-do. Enjoy!

We knew our first panto was a success but, bugger, were we prepared for what was to come with Snow *hite? Not only another fantastic show for over 1,000 people who came to watch us, but also £14,000 raised for Glastonbury and Street Musical Comedy Society. That truly was a phenomenal amount, and we love the fact you've returned even quicker this year for a third helping. We love the fact that, like us, you also love a bit of filth just after Christmas. All that profit, including from this year's A-lad-in will go towards helping Glastonbury and Street Musical Comedy Society stage its annual award-winning musicals. And this year's show is the hilariously funny family favourite Shrek The Musical, packed with fairytale characters, brilliant music and great dance numbers. Tickets are now on sale at: www.gsmcs.co.uk/shrek.
